Hey, I'm very new to linux so sorry if I'm a little short with information.

Anyways, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and then to 9.04. After upgrading to 8.10, i noticed that I was running into a problem with my tooltips-- they pop up as blnk black squares instead of having text. When I open my appearance settings, I see a message that says "this theme will not look as intended because the required icon theme 'default.kde' is not installed" Don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

More seriously though, somewhre throughout the upgrade process I my sound stopped working. I followed the fix-it guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578) by psyke83, but when I get to the step in which I open myt volume control, I get the evil "Connection Failed: Connection Refused" message. When I attempt to open the volume control mannually as it instructs, I get the same message. This is what I get from the console:

Why don't you download a whole new version and burn it to CD ???, one CD won't cost you anything :). In case you don't want to lose your data, you can back it up :)
